The Clinic
It was with great anticipation that the 5 of us (Poh, Philip, Ying Hui, Xiu Xian and I) met today at Clarke Quay for dinner and the insanity that we had planned for our drinking session afterwards. A friend of XX's had recommended this ramen restaurant at The Central @ Clarke Quay called Marutama Ramen, so we decided to give it a shot.
When our ramen arrived and we all started to take our first bite, you could hear the swift intake of breath as you watch the expression change on your friend's face. It was... an out-of-the-world ramen experience!! It was truly the BEST ramen I'd ever tasted!! The soup was absolutely delicious!! And the noodles were great too! There was a piece of char siew in my bowl of ramen and it totally MELTS in your mouth! There's also their famous egg. It looks like an ordinary hard boiled egg, but the moment you bit into it... lOLLL. Suffice to say Poh's reaction was totally hilarious cos he couldn't believe it tasted SO GOOD. The outermost layer of the egg is hard boiled. As you bite in, the middle layer is slightly softer and right in the middle where the yolk is, is the softest part of the egg. I honestly have no idea how they managed to cook the egg like that! So yes, hands down, best ramen I'd ever tasted in Singapore.
After dinner, we walked over to The Clinic! The Clinic is this open-air pub/bar that has a hospital/clinic-like setting. Some of the tables had wheelchairs as chairs and there were other tables that resembled gigantic pills. Some of their specialty drinks include Sex on a Drip, which is an alcoholic beverage served in an IV bag connected to a drip. Yes, you drink from the drip. There are also shots served in syringes and the likes. The waiters and waitresses who serve your drinks are also clad in scrubs. Some even have a stethoscope hanging around their necks. So, being science students, we thought it was REALLY COOL, and we decided to play along by wearing our lab coats.
Honestly, I think this is one of the craziest things I've ever done in my life thus far. I mean when we were dressed in our lab coats and sitting there, sipping at our rum and vodka, people walking by were literally staring. LOLLL. Some even took photographs of us! It was a little embarrassing. Oh gosh. But we didn't wear our lab coats for long. It was way too warm. We took it off after we took our photos. And I can't believe the 5 of us actually nearly finished drinking FOUR JUGS of vodka and rum. FOUR jugs. Four JUGS. It is quite unfathomable. And those jugs weren't small. We played a LOT of drinking games, laughed a lot and discovered many dirty secrets about each other. Poor XX vomited after that though. I think she went over her alcohol tolerance limit. We all started discussing about enzymes and alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate and chemical formulas of Ethanol after that. Until Poh went all "No more enzymes!! No more chemical formulas!! School is OVER!!". So we shut up. Hahahahaha. But oh boy, what a night!
